INFORMATION

Nicknamed the Ambassador by Mal, Inara is the onboard Companion, bringing an air of class to the ship. She was born on the planet Sihnon and trained to be a companion there. She was headed to the ranks of High Priestess, though for some reason she decided to rent a shuttle from Mal on Serenity and not take the high road. Not even Mal knows why she’s working on Serenity instead of some high class establishment, where she could be working. Inara is an extremely elegant young woman. She has chosen to never have any of the crew of Serenity as a client of hers, though her client list is full of high class, not to mention rich people. She services women as well as men, though always chooses wisely as to whom she will provide her services for. After many years of working from Serenity, from the shuttle she rents, she tells Mal that she’s leaving Serenity, with more than one tear in her eye. Mal can’t quite believe it, but it looks like the budding romance between these two will never evolve.
